Constipation

Generally medical books says CONSTIPATION IS THE FATHER OF DISEASE

Constipation means that a person has three or fewer bowel movement in a week. The stool can be hard and dry. Sometimes it is painful to pass. At one time or another, almost everyone gets constipated. In most cases, it lasts a short time and is not serious.

Is Constipation Serious?

Although it may be extremely bothersome, constipation itself usually is not serious. However, it may signal and be the only noticeable symptom of a serious underlying disorder such as cancer. Constipation can lead to complications, such as haemorrhoids caused by extreme straining or fissures caused by the hard stool stretching the sphincters. Bleeding can occur for either of these reasons and appears as bright red streaks on the surface of the stool. Fissures may be quite painful and can aggravate the constipation that originally caused them. Fecal impactions tend to occur in very young children and in older adults and may be accompanied by a loss of control of stool, with liquid stool flowing around the hard impaction.

Occasionally, straining causes a small amount of intestinal lining to push out from the rectal opening. This condition is known as rectal prolapse and may lead to secretion of mucus that may stain underpants. In children, mucus may be a feature of cystic fibrosis.

Causes of Constipation

Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Like a fever, constipation can be caused by many different conditions. Most people have
experienced an occasional brief bout of constipation that has corrected itself with diet and time. The following is a list of some of the most common causes of constipation:

Poor Diet. A main cause of constipation may be a diet high in animal fats (meats, dairy products, eggs) and refined
sugar (rich desserts and other sweets), but low in fiber (vegetables, fruits, whole grains), especially insoluble dietary fiber, which helps move bulk through the intestines and promote bowel movements. Some studies have suggested that high-fiber diets result in larger stools, more frequent bowel movements and, therefore, less constipation.
Imaginary Constipation. This is very common and results from misconceptions about what is normal and what is not. If recognized early enough, this type of constipation can be cured by informing the sufferer that the frequency of his or her bowel movements is normal.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Also known as spastic colon, IBS is one of the most common causes of constipation in the U.S. Some people develop spasms of the colon that delay the speed with which the contents of the intestine move through the digestive tract, leading to constipation.
Poor Bowel Habits. A person can initiate a cycle of constipation by ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement. Some people do this to avoid using public toilets, others because they are too busy. After a period of time, a person may stop feeling the urge. This leads to progressive constipation.
Laxative Abuse. People who habitually take stimulant laxatives become dependent upon them and may require increasing
dosages until, finally, the intestine becomes insensitive and fails to work properly.
Travel. People often experience constipation when travelling long distances, which may relate to changes in lifestyle, schedule, diet and drinking water.
Hormonal Disturbances. Certain hormonal disturbances, such as an under active thyroid gland, can produce constipation.
Pregnancy. Pregnancy is another common cause of constipation, which may be partly due to hormonal changes during
pregnancy.
Fissures and Haemorrhoids. Painful conditions of the anus can produce a spasm of the anal sphincter muscle, which can delay a bowel movement.
Specific Diseases. Many diseases that affect the body tissues, such as scleroderma or lupus, and certain neurological or
muscular diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and stroke, can be responsible for constipation.
Loss of Body Salts. The loss of body salts through the kidneys or through vomiting or diarrhoea is another cause of constipation.
Mechanical Compression. Scarring, inflammation around diverticula’s, tumours and cancer can produce mechanical compression of the intestine and result in constipation.
Nerve Damage. Injuries to the spinal cord and tumours pressing on the spinal cord can produce constipation by affecting the
nerves that lead to the intestine.
Medications. Many medications can cause constipation. These include pain medications (especially narcotics), antacids that contain aluminum or calcium, antispasmodic drugs, antidepressant drugs, tranquilizers, iron supplements, anticonvulsants for epilepsy, antiparkinsonism drugs and calcium channel blockers for high blood pressure and heart conditions.
Colonic Motility Disorders. The peristaltic activity of the intestine may be ineffective resulting in colonic inertia or outlet
obstruction.

Constipation in Children

Constipation is common in children and may be related to any of the causes noted in the previous section. In
a small number of children, constipation may be the result of physical problems. Children with such defects as the absence of normal nerve endings in portions of the bowel, abnormalities of the spinal cord, thyroid deficiency, mental retardation, and certain other inherited metabolic disorders often suffer symptoms of constipation. Constipation in children, however, is usually due to poor bowel habits.
Many children who suffer from constipation when they are older have a history of passing stools that are firmer than average in their early weeks of life. Because this occurs before there are significant variations in diet, habits or attitudes, it
suggests that many children who develop constipation have a normal tendency to have firmer stools. Such children suffer little from the tendency unless it is aggravated by poor bowel habits or poor diet.
Constipation may result in pain when the child has bowel movements. Cracks in the skin, called fissures, may develop in the anus. These fissures can bleed or increase pain, causing a child to withhold his or her stool.
Children may withhold their stools for other reasons as well. Some find it inconvenient to use toilets outside the home. Also, severe emotional stress caused by family crises or difficulties at school may cause children to withhold their stools. In
these instances, the periods between bowel movements may become quite long, in some cases lasting longer than one or two weeks. These children may develop fecal impactions, a situation in which the stool is packed so tightly in the bowel that the normal pushing action of the bowel is not enough to expel the stool spontaneously.

Constipation in Older Ages

Older adults are five times more likely than younger adults to report problems with constipation. Poor diet, insufficient intake of fluids, lack of exercise, the use of certain drugs to treat other conditions, and poor bowel habits can result in constipation. Experts agree, however, that too often older people become overly concerned with having a bowel movement and that constipation is frequently an imaginary ailment.
Diet and dietary habits can play a role in developing constipation. Lack of interest in eating — a problem common too many single or widowed older people — may lead to heavy use of convenience foods, which tend to be low in fiber. In addition, loss of teeth may force older people to choose soft, processed foods, which also tend to be low in fiber.
Older people sometimes cut back on fluids, especially if they are not eating regular or balanced meals or to avoid urinating if they experience stress incontinence. Water and other fluids add bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to
pass.
Prolonged bed rest, for example, after an accident or during an illness and lack of exercise may contribute to constipation. Also, drugs prescribed for other conditions, such as antidepressants, antacids containing aluminum or calcium, antihistamines,
diuretics, and antiparkinsonism drugs, can produce constipation in some people.
The preoccupation with bowel movements sometimes leads older people to depend heavily on stimulant laxatives, which can be habit-forming. The bowel begins to rely on laxatives to bring on bowel movements, and over time, the natural mechanisms fail to work without the help of drugs. Habitual use of enemas also can lead to a loss of normal function.
